(ODON) - Two seniors from Bloomfield and one from Shoals were presented with scholarships at the WestGate@Crane College Fair.

A $1,000 scholarship was presented to Blakely Heaton of Bloomfield High School for her essay, "Transferring Energy to Make Clean Water Possible Everywhere."

Two $500 scholarships were awarded to Logan Albright from Shoals Jr/Sr High School for his essay, "Demining the World," and to Cecilia Craig from Bloomfield High School for her essay, "Purifying Water Using Solar Energy."

The WestGate@Crane College Fair attracted Big 10 schools and nearly 800 regional high school students to the WestGate Academy Conferencing and Training Center on October 6th. The fair was well attended in its second year thanks to the advent of a scholarship opportunity, funded with proceeds from the May 2014 5K race, "Running for Our Future."

The race's platinum sponsors, Artisan Electronics, Inc., the Battery Innovation Center (BIC), Raydar, Inc., and STIMULUS Engineering Services, Inc. helped to fund the scholarships. Representatives from Artisan, BIC, and STIMULUS were on hand to congratulate the winning seniors, who had to be present to win.
